U.S. Women's Soccer Wins Gold

The U.S. Women's Soccer Team, featuring former Boston Breakers player Kate Markgraf, won the Olympic gold medal today. The team just squeezed past Brazil, who had beaten the U.S. in last fall's World Cup, which was won by Germany (Brazil placed second; the U.S., third). This is the U.S. Women's third gold medal in four Olympics. After a scoreless match dominated by Brazil, U.S. player Carli Lloyd kicked one in during overtime to make the U.S. golden once again.
